Vegan activists in Canterbury, including partially topless women wearing makeshift breast-milking machines, staged a protest outside The Beaney House of Art and Knowledge to raise awareness about the treatment of cows in the dairy industry. The performance, titled "Milk is not Human(e)", aimed to challenge public perceptions of the dairy industry's practices and their impact on cows. This protest was part of a coordinated effort across 14 UK cities and international locations, drawing parallels between the exploitation of cows in the dairy industry and human rights issues.

Activist and artist Stephanie Lane, founder of Speciesism WTF, organized the demonstration on International Women's Day to shed light on the inhumane treatment of cows in dairy farming. The goal of the protest was to engage the public in critical thinking about the ethics of the dairy industry and inspire change for all beings and the future of the planet. Members of the public were approached by outreachers after the performance and asked to consider the humanity of dairy farming practices.
